Which of the following materials can be attracted by a magnet but do not generate magnetic forces? A) Cobalt B) Gold C) Iron D) Paper E) Nickel F) Platinum
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which materials can be attracted by a magnet without generating magnetic forces themselves. This requires an understanding of magnetic properties of different materials.
Answer
Cobalt and Nickel are attracted by magnets but do not generate magnetic forces.
Materials like cobalt, iron, and nickel can be attracted by magnets. However, cobalt and nickel do not generate magnetic forces on their own like a permanent magnet would.
Answer for screen readers
Materials like cobalt, iron, and nickel can be attracted by magnets. However, cobalt and nickel do not generate magnetic forces on their own like a permanent magnet would.
More Information
Cobalt and Nickel can be magnetized to become permanent magnets but in their natural state, they don't generate magnetic forces like a true permanent magnet.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that all materials attracted to a magnet can also generate magnetic forces, which is not the case.
